On March 23 after service in Reeb Hall, Silver Souls invites you to celebrate the legacies of David Bauer and Rev. James Reeb, menwho served in ways we don’t want to forget.

David Bauer is remembered by many church many of us as the great human he was, but Silver Souls invites you to honor his commitment and advocacy for accessible features in our building. His efforts led to our building’s paved and stepless pathway to the entrance off the patio, and the addition of the Bauer elevator that provides access to all three floors of the church.

Rev. Reeb answered the call of Dr. King to defend voting rights in Selma, Alabama, where he was murdered, galvanizing the nation and inspiring the 1965 Civil Rights Act. His sacrifice inspired All Souls minister Rev. Duncan Howlett to write No Greater Love: The James Reeb Story.

Please come to take in their stories and understand the impact of their advocacies. Join David Bauer’s wife Judith to learn more about David’s story, his special character, intellect, and advocacy. Then join Reeb Voting Rights Project member Holly Reckord, who will narrate a slide show from the Project about James Reeb’s life and death, how his story changed history, and still inspires their work. Holly will provide us all with information about how to take action, needed so much now, right from home.

Refreshments will be provided.
